Oliver Stone is a DISGRACE to the word Democracy. He lives in a land where he can live the benefits of "Freedom of Speech", but boasts the Dictator Hugo Chavez as a Hero. If Oliver Stone was a Venezuela living in Venezuela, trying to critique the government or anyone of his officials like he does with the movie "W" and many other movies, he'd be sitting in a Venezuela prison just like many of the local Venezuelan press. Oliver Stone couldn't handle the pressures that the Venezuelan press has to deal with everyday! How many people of the Venezuelan press has had to run into exile in other countries???
Chavez has been shutting down TV Stations over the years, and now has just closed over SIXTY radio stations that he believes speaks against his ideology! Thousands are losing their lifestyle, which is the same one Oliver Stone has made $MILLIONS from. Oliver Stone can do it, because he is an American, or a "Pitty-Yankee" as Chavez calls them, but the Venezuelan DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THE SAME???
He plans to close another FORTY more this year alone. How can a leftist Hollywood director go around calling such a Dictator as a Hero??? While Sean Penn was in Venezuela recently, he was at a Chavez rally telling the Venezuelans that in under no circumstance should any government close down a local media. Well, guess what Mr Sean Penn??? Two days later Hugo Chavez closed down SIXTY radio stations leaving close to 1,000 employees out of work. It was the craziest act since Fidel Castro took over Cuba.
Now, Chavez is requiring the local schools to reform their books and include HIS books. Can you just see Oliver Stone and Sean Penn sitting in Venezuelan classrooms having to be force feed IDEOLOGY of a Dictator. Is the money that important to these Hollywoodists???
Stop putting your arms around the type of influences that you WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO STOMACH on a day to day basis. You can barely tolerate the liberal society of the USA! You wish it was more liberal! Not in Venezuela. You don't think you just do what Chavez tells you to do!!! If Olvier Stone and Sean Penn were Venezuelans, they would be living in exile in Colombia trying to make movies in Bogota. I guarantee it!!!
There is only one word for your types blind HYPOCRITES!!!
